The Warriors agreed to a sign-and-trade with the 76ers to acquire Hield on a four-year contract in exchange for a 2031 second-round pick Thursday,
Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSISAfter the departure of
Klay Thompson, Hield will likely compete with
Brandin Podziemski for the starting job next to
Stephen Curry in the Warriors' backcourt. In 2023-24, Hield averaged 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.7 minutes across 84 combined regular-season appearances for the Pacers and 76ers. The 31-year-old guard has proven to be one of the most lethal outside shooters in the NBA, as his 1,322 three-pointers made since 2019-20 rank first in the league.
